Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road, too
There´s a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
And please don´t ask me how these last years went
Mama, I made a million dollars on accident

Well, I was supposed to die a military man
Chest out too far with a drink in my hand
But I´ve got folks who like hearin´ me rhyme
I think of thunder under metal roofs, all the time
Why´s everyone actin´ like they ain´t human?
Take me back to green grass and knowin´ what I´s doin´
´Cause I just need a friend right now
Sittin´ close until the daylight´s out
It ain´t been my week, it ain´t been my year
And I hate to admit I just need you here

So close your eyes, do you think of when you´s younger?
Won´t you rest your mind?
Smell that northern thunder
So close your eyes, I pray you see those memories

The way this life blackens all the things you used to be
So close your eyes, do you think when you´s younger?
Rest your mind and smell that northern thunder
Won´t you close your eyes? Think of what this used to be
The way this life blackens all your younger memories

Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road too
There´s a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
